Could the CT125X's lack of ABS be a deal breaker for safety conscious riders?
15 January 2025 10:05
For me, it's a deal-breaker. ABS is too important to skip, especially if you ride in heavy traffic or monsoons because safety should come first. I’d rather spend a little more on a bike with ABS.

I’ve seen some pretty neat custom CT125Xs out there. Custom paint jobs, some performance mods like air filters and exhaust systems, and even people have added LED lights. For a budget bike, it’s surprisingly customizable.

I honestly wouldn't bother customizing it much. Most mods are just superfluous cost on a basic commuter. If you want something more personalized, spend that money on maintenance or save up for a better bike.

Practical mods are the best for the CT125X. I also have added a sturdier luggage rack, hand guards, and a usb charger. It doesn't go crazy and these small changes make it much more usable for daily riding.

A community of CT125X modders is growing online. Different tires, suspension tweaks, even some engine mods, people are trying it all. Of course, just make sure you don’t void your warranty if you go too extreme.

Stock, I think the CT125X has a cool, retro inspired look. A few subtle changes such as a different seat or handlebar will make it stand out without losing its charm. All comes down to finding a balance.
How does the CT125X stack up off road compared to more expensive adventure bikes?
15 January 2025 10:05
It won't compete with a proper ADV bike, but the CT125X can do light off roading surprisingly well. I took mine on a few dirt roads and some mild trails, and it did fine. The good thing is that the high ground clearance.

I wouldn't take it off road too hard. The suspension is pretty basic and you will feel every bump. On gravel roads or well maintained dirt paths it's fine, but anything more technical and you're asking for trouble.

With a few mods it can be made more off road capable. People have got knobbier tires and changed the suspension. It can't turn it into a KTM but it will handle more than you would expect.

I honestly think that people expect too much from a budget commuter. It’s not built for serious off roading. If you really want a real adventure bike, save up, get something that's purpose built for it.

Taking my CT125X on light trails has been fun. It won’t win any races, but it’s up to the job for some weekend exploring. But it won't handle big jumps or deep mud.
Can the CT125X really work as a long distance tourer?
15 January 2025 10:05
I wouldn’t recommend it for serious touring. After an hour or two, the seat gets uncomfortable and being bare to the wind on a highway is a problem. For short trips, it’s fine, but you’d be better off with a proper touring bike for long distances.

It can be modified for budget touring. Mine has a more comfortable seat, a small windscreen and some luggage racks. It’s not luxurious, but it’s good enough for weekend getaways.

I've ridden a 500km round trip on my CT125X and it wasn't the most comfortable ride but I was able to do it. Big pluses for touring are that the bike is reliable and fuel efficient. But just be prepared for a slower pace and more breaks.

It's all about expectations. If you are used to touring on bigger bikes you will be disappointed. If you’re open to roughing it and you view it as a budget adventure, then the CT125X can be a rewarding way to push the envelope without maxing out the charge card.

I think that's really pushing the bike beyond its design. Yeah, you can tour on it, but why would you when there are so many better options? If that’s what you want to do, save up for a bike that is designed for long distances.
Can budget conscious riders afford to get hyped about the Bajaj CT125X?

If you are on a tight budget, honestly, I think the CT125X is a solid choice. It’s not fancy, but it works. I’ve owned one for a few months, and for the price it is surprisingly capable. It has decent build quality and rough roads can take a beating with it.

I'm not sold on it. You know, it's cheap upfront, but Bajaj's after sales service is a nightmare. In the long run you may be spending more on repairs and maintenance. In this segment, I’d rather save up a bit more and go for a Honda or TVS.

The CT125X is hard to beat if you are a daily commuter. It's fuel efficient, easy to drive in traffic and parts are inexpensive. Don't expect a highway cruiser or a performance machine. If you know what it can and can’t do, you’ll be happy with it.

But I think it’s a bit overhyped. This is just a basic commuter, nothing special about it. The ride is pretty stiff, and the seat gets uncomfable on longer rides. If you are mostly doing short trips, then okay, but there are better options if you need versatility.
